Hi.  I have a Canon 5201 floppy drive which stopped functioning a while
ago.  It's functioning just weird enough at the moment that I thought there
might be a way to salvage it.

	The drive is currently installed as drive A: on an AT clone, with
CMOS RAM properly set for it.  The connector for drive B: is left empty.
Anyway, when I access drive A: in anyway, the drive motor spins, but the
select light doesn't come on.  It'll not read nor write onto the drive.  If
I access B: (this is after I set up my CMOS RAM for one-drive system), the
select light will come on, but the motor won't start.  Anybody seen
something like this, with possibly a cure?  8)  Thanks...
